Lorelai Quote #997
Quote from Lorelai in Eight O'Clock at the Oasis
Lorelai: [on the phone] Hi, yes, I was at your auction yesterday and I was wondering if you could help me.
I met a man there and I would like to contact him but I didn't get his name and I wondered if you could look it up for me. He was paddle number seventeen, and... Oh right, confidential, got it... Well, you know, actually, I misspoke earlier because this isn't a complete stranger I'm trying to contact here, he's an old friend from school... Good question. Well, I don't know his name because I only knew him by his nickname... Shamu. We called him Shamu. He was kind of a big guy in high school, but he's slimmed down quite a bit... No, see, I don't have time to contact the high school alumni committee because time is of the essence... See, Shamu and I went to a liquor store after the auction and we bought a lottery ticket together and we tore it and I took half and he took half, and I'll be damned if the thing didn't win! Fourteen million dollars! Really, but see, we have to claim it by four p.m. today or we forfeit... Ah, yes... Oh, well, but there's one more thing that I forgot to tell you. See... my blood type is o-negative and he's o-negative and I have a medical condition that... All right, then. Well, thank you anyway. Bye. [hangs up]

Quote from Richard
Richard: Pork is bred leaner these days. It has a different taste. Less fat equals less flavor. Yet another example of the great advances man has made, flavorless pork. Hurrah for the opposable thumbs.
Lorelai: All right, enough talk about pork. Please, someone change the subject.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: [laughs] And then the rabbit says, "How about that schnitzel!" Well?
Rory: Well what? There's no punchline.
Lorelai: That is the punchline.
Rory: "How about that schnitzel!" That's the punchline?
Lorelai: Well, no, not when you say it like that.
Rory: How am I supposed to say it?

Rory: How about that schnitzel!

Quote from Michel
Michel: I'm sorry, did I hear you mention something about an auction?
Lorelai: My mother's women's group is having one next week.
Michel: Oh, well, you know. I love a good auction. The drama, the strategy.
Lorelai: The strategy?
Michel: Oh, yes. First, you mustn't be too eager because that drives the price way up.
Lorelai: Don't be too eager, got it.
Michel: And you must always be extremely careful of your paddle movements.
Lorelai: Well, that certainly calls for a "Dirty!"
Michel: How's your arm raise? Good?
Lorelai: Pretty good.
Michel: Ah, I have an excellent arm raise.
Lorelai: That's what it says on the bathroom wall.
